Despite the attention, the actor has chosen to ignore his sex symbol status, telling the July issue of Parade, "That kind of stuff is only present if you give it attention. It's not like I'm Justin Bieber or anything."

"When I tuned in to Mad Men, I couldn't believe he was this smoldering, brooding, sexual man. I was like 'Oh my God --that's Hamm!'" Silverman, 39, says. "To me, he’s just this super-silly idiot. He's one of those very few actors who are comedian-compatible."
